How is this different then a phone? Are you liable for the conversations others have on your phone?
- tremon 10y agoIf you permanently have your phone outside your front door, and a passerby uses your phone to commit/coordinate crimes, you may well be liable, yes.
- mattstreet 10y agoSo are the owners of pay phones liable?
- tremon 10y agoNo. They're exploited by common carriers, whose status gives them judicial exemptions.
- collyw 10y agoI am trying to think of a criminal activity that you can conduct over the phone analogous to piracy (but can't come up with one).
- talmand 10y agoIt doesn't have to be analogous to piracy, for example: if I use your phone to discuss a bank robbery with my partners in crime, even without your knowledge, you could be charged with conspiracy. Depending on local laws of course.
